Wherefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only on account of punishment, but also on account of conscience. For on this account also you pay taxes; for [magistrates] are servants of God attending constantly to this same thing. Pay to all their dues; a tax to whom a tax is due, a toll to whom a toll is due, fear to whom fear, and honor to whom honor.
